Changing (or declaring) your major to Physiological Science

Students are allowed to change or declare majors after completing one full
quarter at UCLA. If your first quarter is fall, you can wait until winter to
change or declare your major. You must be in good academic standing and be
able to finish the major within the maximum limit of 216 + AP units. Please
set up an appointment with the undergraduate counselor to discuss program
planning and changing or declaring your major. The counselor will be
checking to see that you have an overall GPA of 2.0 in the preparation for
the Phy Sci major and that you do not have more than two repeats in the prep
requirements. If you have a grade less than C- in any of the prep you must
repeat the course with a minimum grade of C- before you will be admitted
into the major.

Double Major

You must be in good academic standing and be able to complete both majors
within the maximum units (please check your Degree Progress Report for your
individual maximum). You will need the approval of both departments. You are
allowed a maximum of five overlapping upper division courses between the two
majors. The lower division preparation can over-lap. After you have
completed the preparation in both majors and two upper division courses in
both majors, you can petition for the double major.

Minors or Specializations

The Physiological Science department does not offer a minor or
specialization. Please check the Registrar's Office website for the current
list of minors and specializations at www.registrar.ucla.edu/Dept/minor.htm.
Taking on a minor is a very personal decision, and there are many in different fields that can enhance
your time here at UCLA. We suggest that you find one that fits both your
schedule and your interest.
